Recently, GitHub added the ability to [explicitly close an issue as a duplicate](https://github.blog/changelog/2024-12-12-github-issues-projects-close-issue-as-a-duplicate-rest-api-for-sub-issues-and-more/#close-an-issue-as-a-duplicate). When you close an issue as a duplicate, in addition to linking it to the issue and putting an event in the timeline, it _also_ sets the the issue state reason to `duplicate`. I cannot find this behavior documented in the current GitHub API docs, but I have seen it in the wild on a few recent issues in the rust-analyzer repository.
